The Crime Stack: Crows Nest by Nikki Mottram

For the April Crime Stack, UQP has kindly offered 20 copies of Crows Nest, the first in the Dana Gibson series by Toowoomba-based author, Nikki Mottram.

Fleeing problems in her own marriage, child protection worker Dana Gibson leaves Sydney for a job in the Queensland town of Toowoomba. Her first house call is to nearby Crows Nest to assess the children of Sandra Kirby, which results in her getting both her new boss and a local detective offside. Dana soon learns that, in the country, city rules do not apply.

When Sandra and her best friend are found shot dead, Dana is drawn into an investigation that will force her to strip away the friendly veneer of small-town life, while grappling with ghosts of her own. As buried secrets, bitter tensions and corruption come to light, how far will locals go to stop her uncovering the truth of what happened?

The Crime Stack is a benefit for Sisters in Crime members. Every month there are 20 books to win in a random draw of members.
